The Appeal of Fascism by Alastair Hamilton
A critical but balanced survey traces fascism across Italy Germany France and England. Hamilton argues fascism recruited the lower middle class amid postwar crises while denying a single fixed doctrine and centers on writers and intellectuals who supported or admired it. The work assesses rise and fall, noting gaps in passion and context but remains a worthwhile study.

A critical evaluation of Thomas Hardy covering his 14 novels from 1871 to 1895, noting highs such as The Return of the Native and The Mayor of Casterbridge, while detailing flaws and puzzles about his uneven output, shifting to poetry, and reception by figures like James and Eliot. Millgate’s work argues for a balanced reassessment.
